An attack o( Fever at this time of year, with Quinine as the treat ment, means a week or ten days lost from Busi ness. It means ten days of unhappiness for you and ten days of hard work and anxiety for those' who love you. This is putting it in its very happiest aspect. It might mean your death, and it often means a breakdown in general health from which some recuperate very slowly. If you are a rich man your time is worth much to your estate. If you I used Johnson's Tonic M bourn. Took It every three hours. Never felt better In my life. I)i,I not lose sn ounce In welitht. Cun nuythlns. lire a jioor man. your time Is worth much more to your family.- The rich man might lietter alford to suffer a loss of *100.00 a day, as a result from en forced absence from business than the poor man cat, lose the value of his labor. Bot h itien rich or jioor-are stupld to lose 10 days when 44 to 48 hours is the limit of lime required to put them in good condition by Johnson's Chill and f ever-Tonic. I always feel sorry for the family that is wedded to the plan of subjecting I l.eiuselves to the Quinine treatment. The process is slow. The result uncertain. The treatment disappointing. Johnson s Tonic has two cardinal points that should iuimediatelv commend it to every thinking man in this country. First of all, it is harmless. Absolutely harmless. Harmless under all cir* i u instances. , Second, it is quick; it acts at once. In 1)0 minutes after its administration, it enters the blood and begins to undo the mischief caused by Malaria. It lias a wonderful record of 17 years of success. 91)9 cases out of every 1000 are promptly cured, and the 1000th case can be easily cured by doubling the dose and taking it a little oftener. Johnson's Tonic is a wonderful medicine. It is not mere merchandise. It is superb. No remedy in the whole domain of Materia Medica is more positive in its action and unfailing in its results. It will cure. It will cure every time. It will cure every case of Fever. It will cure any type of fever. It is the one great medicine that seldom disappoints. Don’t trifle with Fever. If allowed to run, it is like a house allowed to burn—it will consume you. Use Johnson's Tonic. Use nothing else. Now, take your choice. Lie in bed for days, or maybe weeks, and poison your digestion with Quinine, and arise finally with all the life and Tim taken out of you, or use Johnson's Tonic and be restored at once to perfect health. No Ices of vital force. No loss of flesh. No waste of precious tima Take your choice A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.

WORST DISASTER IN YEARS Full Ll«t of Thcce Lett Cannot Now ?e Given, at Register of Pateen- gert end All Records Vyere Destroy ed—Thrilling Story of Catastrophe. Cairo, III.,' April 21.—Although no complete lint of either the victims -or of the survivor* is yet obtainable, 'in vestigation today indicates that iihncKt one-half of the 150 people on the City of Pittsburg were lost when then ill fated steamer was burned yeste edny at Ogden's Landing, between this city and Padurah. Many of those who were tirought to' this city are suffering from injuries, exposure and fright. The number aboard was about eepinlly di vlded between passengers and crew the latter suffering the greater loss In casualties. The names of many of the "roust abouts" were not known, and the nuro ber drowned or burned la not likely to ever be ascertained. The tire started In the lower part ot the steamer, in the freight material or possibly In the en gine room, and shut off the means of escape there while passengers jiimped- overboard from the upper decks. Penned In by Flames. Within ten minutes of the dlscov ery of fire at 4 a. m. survivors say the upper decks were swept by flames and passengers were penned In on all sides, even the life preservers being cut oil by the flames. The panic 1 which fol lowed caused a greater lots of life than would have ensued If the olllcers could have controlled the terror stricken people.' Some rushed through the flames and perished; others fainted and sank, down to be cremated.- Many In their night robes, some of them afire, jumped overboard and were drowned. Those that got Into the boats saw others drowning as tbelr over crowded crafts pulled to shore. The barely clad survivors on the shore not only witnessed horrifying scenes around the charred hull, but also suf. ferecl from early' rtiorhing till relief came in the afternoon. The captain says there were 65 pas sengers, not including a dozen babies. There were as many women as men In the cabin and the Indications are that the greater percentage of lossps was among the Women and children, Register and Recorde Burned. As the register, with alj other rec : orda, was burned and the survivors scattered in every direction, there is great difficulty In getting a Mat of sur vivors. If Is conceded that many bodies will never be recovered, so that there' will never be a complete list Qt the vlctlma. It is thought that many charred bodies will be found In the hull of tlie burned steamer when the mass of embers ceases burning so that the search for the remains can be made.
